@Kusalananda that makes sense, but seems like it would add an extra layer of complication and a performance hit compared to baremetal, is that wrong?

@terdon Complication? No. Performance hit? That depends on the hypervisor, but yes possibly, at least if you're accessing a disk image. I rarely care about that though.

Eh, I like playing the odd game on my machine from time to time and I will sometimes also do some computationally intensive bioinformatics stuff on it.

My starlink dish will be here today finally, pretty fired up about it

@jesse_b Congratulations. Is that internet? Or something else?

@FaheemMitha yeah satellite internet. Came with a mount that is no good for me though so now I need to wait on a new one

@jesse_b That must be very expensive.

@FaheemMitha Not terribly. The dish and equipment is pretty expensive but the service is on par with everything else

@jesse_b What is the monthly rate, assuming it's billed monthly?

$110

it's actually cheaper than all the other satellite based services in my area
